Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Mental Health Bill [HL].

Mental Health Bill [Lords]

I thank the Secretary of State for being so generous in giving way. She is right that many constituents who come to us need our help as their MPs and the help of the mental health services. Sadly however, many wards around the country are closing, such as the St. Julian’s ward that caters for my constituents, so such people have nowhere to go even when they want to put themselves forward for help. What plans do we have to open more units, and where will the secure units that the Bill’s provisions require come from?
